How to add a device when the machine, computer is not in the same vlan.

If it’s a Ruida controller, the Ethernet interface cannot handle anything other than a simple /24 network with all devices in that subnetwork.

Some previous discussions provide background:

Anyone Know: Has the Ruida Firmware ever been updated to fix their Network Limitation?

Ruida firmware has always assumed a TCP/IP network mask of 255.255.255.0. This effectively required everyone to artificially limit the available IP address of their laser to an address which matches the first three octets of the laptop/PC using the laser. This works fine for folks who have their equipment on a Class C network, but for folks (like me) with a Class B (or Class A) only a small subset of machines on the network will be able to talk with the laser. All Ruida has to do is simply AS…

CO2 Laser using Ruida RDC6445G Controller

Hi Guys, Just completed my own CO2 Laser build, using SPT 100w laser tube with Ruida RDC6445g controller, issue i am having is the laser wont fire using pulse on the LCD panel of the controller, however when i remove the connection block from the main board where motors are connected etc i can get the laser to test using the test push button on the power supply. This leads me to a connection or paramater issue. i followed the wiring diagram from cloudray, Power supply IN to pin number 5 on Rui…

Apparently it’s possible to use a router to bridge between the complex network and the Ruida controller, with the router handling all the fancy vlan addressing and providing the controller with a simple /24 subnet.

The LightBurn Bridge works between WiFI and a Ruida controller, so the firmware may be of some use:
